Trump-Xi Summit Puts U.S.-China Trade Truce in Focus

The meeting could advance a trade truce while AI, Taiwan and China’s military purges remain on the agenda, analysts said.

  • Chinese President Jinping and President Donald Trump prepare to meet in Washington to discuss trade and technology, with analysts expecting little from the summit as neither side is positioned to attempt anything dramatic.
  • The Chinese Communist Party officially expelled top military leaders Zhang and Liu, detained in January, as scholar Deng Yuwen noted Jinping faces a cycle of disappointment regarding loyalty from newly promoted officers.
  • Artificial intelligence remains a concern following a mistaken intelligence report that nearly caused seizure of a Chinese ship last week, while the United States dismantles China-focused think tanks including the Navy's China Maritime Studies Institute.
  • Former Hong Kong chief executive Tung Chee-hwa, who died at 89 on Sept. 8, received a state funeral on Sunday; Alibaba marketplace Xianyu faces regulatory punishment after investigators found extensive advertising for illegal services.
  • Jinping is skipping the United Nations General Assembly as United States security discourse now rarely references 2027 as a deadline for China to invade Taiwan, with roughly 83 percent of China experts surveyed in 2022 disagreeing the claim was ever well-founded.
